Managing Agency

The Pacific Surfliner service is locally managed by the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, a joint powers authority that works to increase ridership, revenue, capacity, reliability, coordination, and safety on the rail corridor.

Amtrak Thruway Bus Service offers guaranteed connections to Pacific Surfliner trains, extending travel possibilities throughout California. Made possible by Caltrans, Amtrak-dedicated bus routes fill gaps in the train schedule, link to other Amtrak routes, and provide the first or last connection to popular destinations such as Palm Springs and Long Beach. Ride in comfort on the way to or from the train, thanks to onboard amenities including reclining seats, foot rests, restrooms, individual lighting, and free Wi-Fi.

The Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® travels along a 351-mile route through San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties, with portions of the route hugging the Southern California coastline. It is the second busiest intercity passenger rail corridor in the United States with 26 daily trains and an annual ridership of nearly 3 million.
